The world premiere engagement of "Zombies on Campus! A SlaughterPocalypse!," a fast-paced comedy featuring audience interaction, will be at 7:30 nightly Wednesday through Nov. 19 at the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center at Western Carolina University.

The play-within-a-play opens with the audience sitting on the stage, watching as young theater majors at a rehearsal come to terms with their lives, studies and lines for Shakespeare's accursed "Macbeth" when fast-moving flesh-consuming undead begin an assault on campus.
